32 Reasons Why You Need To See "Pacific Rim"

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2013)

Brings back child-hood memories of Godzilla Vs. xxx & Ray Harryhausen stop motion model animation & Tokusatsu!
Cool martial arts scene.
The visuals are imaginative & incredible without almost no bad CGI in sight.
Humans conquering problems through teamwork, made up of diversity.
The monsters are big, huge, GIAGANTIC, & scary as hell.
Estimated Damage to NY in "The Avengers"=$160 Billion. "Man of Steel's" Metropolis= $700 Billion. "Pacific Rim's" several continents= In the trillions (still being calculated as of July 2013)
Has drama & romance scenes that never get in the way of the action.
Draws from several genres of monsters, yet the final creatures are original.
Cool costumes that have detailed battle-reflected scratches and grime.
Charlie Day doing Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but on smart pills.
Idris Elba' character Stacker Pentecost saying the coolest 6-word line about an apocalypse ever.
Tom Cruise was NOT chosen for the role of Stacker Pentecost.
Yes, that is Ellen McLain, voice of GLaDOS from the video game Portal that you'll hear.
Ron Perlman.
Awesome fighting sequences on land, sea & air.
Each special weapon Jaeger has it's own cool feature.
A very likable, personable protagonist played by Charlie Hunnam.
A beautiful, leading woman, Rinko Kikuchi, that's never exposed as a sexed-up dumb, kitten(you know, like Star Trek's obvious bra & panties scene or Transformer's Megan Fox bending over a car)
Some represented countries working together: China, Russia, USA, Australia, & Japan.
The 3D is actually good.
Good clichés, not bad ones.
Great use of color saturation.
Whether you love or hate Guillermo del Toro, you have to admire his flexibility: Horror, Superhero-action, Drama, & Fantasy. This is him at his nerdiest best with Sci-Fi Action/Adventure.
Cool during-credits sequence.
Best sequence of setting off a Newton's Balls (or Newton's Cradle) accessory in a movie put to film.
A live action Japanese Mech-warrior anime? YES PLEASE.
Over 2 hours long for maximum entertainment.
Expect over an hour of deleted scenes edited out of the movie for the DVD/Blu-ray release with alternate endings.
Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters doing incredible & probably impossible tricks with Jaegers.
ELBOW ROCKET PUNCH!!!
Done for less budget than Transformers: Dark of the Moon and still winds up looking better.
Funny scenes are funny.
